About
Quality by Design (QbD) is a methodology used in product development or optimization projects.
The goal of this development strategy is to obtain a holistic understanding of all potential variables which might affect the quality, efficacy, and safety of the drug product.
The biggest benefit is that quality could be designed into the product instead of purely relying on end-product testing (Quality by Testing approach).
Using such an approach requires the input and experience of a multidisciplinary team that determines the potential risk of material and process variables on product quality.
Based on this initial risk assessment, additional experimental designs could be designed and executed to further characterize the product and manufacturing process.
All the generated product and process understanding will be used to define a design space and suitable process control strategy resulting in a consistent product quality.
During this course, the QbD principle and the different steps needed for this approach will be presented in combination with examples from the field to apply and discuss from a practical point of view.
The following blocks will be addressed:
- General principles and importance of the QbD approach
- Role of Process Analytical Technology (PAT) in QbD and potential of PAT-based Continuous Manufacturing (CM)
- Importance of Design of Experiment (DoE) methodology supporting product and process characterization studies
- Practical examples to contextualize and apply theoretical knowledge in case studies drawn from pharmaceutical manufacturing.
People involved in drug product and manufacturing process development projects. A multi-disciplinary approach is needed during the risk assessment of potential material and process variables. Therefore, people from different departments (R&D, quality, regulatory, manufacturing, etc…) could benefit from using the QbD methodology for their development or optimization projects.
The online workshop will be a mixture of theoretic presentations, case studies and practical examples.
Lecturers
Maxim van den Steen
Maxim Van den Steen is an Industrial Pharmacist who investigated the mixing mechanics of continuous melt granulation processes during his master thesis at Ghent University. As a member of the R&D department, he was involved in multiple drug discovery and development, new product introduction and technology transfer projects (J&J, Ardena, Antwerp Drug Discovery Netwerk, Qualiphar). In July 2023, he founded a start-up company specializing in the development of sustainable products manufactured via CM technologies where quality is designed into the product and assured via PAT-based CM technologies.
